On the filter. The open end that you screw on has a gasket around the outer edge. Oil the gasket before installing.

Why would oil spray all the oil out of the oil filtor?
At the top of the filter is a rubber seal. Sometimes when you remove the old filter that rubber seal stays in place and when you screw the new filter on the oil will spew out between the two seals. So take the filter off and check for the old seal. If that is not the problem you may have cross threaded the new filter or tried to tighten it too much and rolled that seal over. It needs to be tight but not torqued down.

What would cause a 2003 jeep wranglers oil filter to expand and blowing oil out like its getting too much pressure?
I doubt the filter itself is "expanding". Either the filter was not tightened enough or the seal is damaged. Also make sure to lubicate the seal before installation. Just put a small amount of oil on the seal & spread it around. If you did not do that, that might be why it is leaking or may have even damaged the seal when installed.
How much oil Do you place oil in the oil filter when changing oil?
Pouring oil in the filter is not needed during an oil change. Coat the rubber gasket of the filter with a thin coat of oil using your finger to ensure a tight seal and screw on the filter. Oil will naturally enter and circulate through the filter after new oil has been added at the conclusion of the oil change.
What would make the oil come out the oil filter?
Oil coming from the oil filter area usually means that the gasket for the oil filter is not seating right. If the filter was changed recently, the old gasket could have been left on, along with the new gasket, causing a bad seal.
